Hello Stranger is a four-piece from Los Angeles consisting of Juliette Commagere on keytar and vocals, Jared Smith on guitar and keyboards, Ben Messelbeck on bass and
Joachim Cooder (Ry Cooder’s son) on drums.

Commagere grew up playing piano, and says the move to her Moog Liberation keytar was a natural progression for her.

Cayo,” a song performed in Spanish.

Commagere, whose mother is from Mexico, also sings a song–”Es Tu Vida”–in Spanish on Hello Stranger’s self-titled album. The song, set in the future in South America, is about two young women who sneak out to an underground club for the night. “It’s a fight for your right to party song,” she says.
